arti 437c92e6ea docs(dtj): archive the full DTJ Vol. 3 No. 4 (Fall 1991) issue
The tree only had two excerpts of this issue, not the issue: a text-only
reflow of article 2 (X Window Terminals) and a 17-page scan of article 1
(Hardware Accelerators for Bitonal Image Processing). Add the complete
83-page issue from vmssoftware.com, plus a pdftotext rendering and a note
recording provenance, contents and how the two excerpts relate to it.

The two articles with direct VT1200 content are the first two: the bitonal accelerator paper is the DECimage 1200 / S/XIE material, and X Window Terminals is the VT1000 / VT1200 / VT1300 / VXT 2000 design paper (it is the source the Lance / font-daemon analysis quotes as docs/DTJ-1991-vol3num4_X-Window-Terminals.txt).

Two excerpt copies already in the tree

Neither is a duplicate of this file; both are subsets and both are different scans:

file what it holds
DTJ-1991-vol3num4_X-Window-Terminals.pdf / .txt article 2 only, X Window Terminals (pp. 26–35) — a 20-page text-only reflow, no figures, 28 KB
../xie/docs/dec/DTJ-1991-v03-04-bitonal-image-accelerators.pdf article 1 only, Hardware Accelerators for Bitonal Image Processing (journal pp. 9–25) — a 17-page Paper Capture excerpt, 1.6 MB, 590 × 802 pt

../xie/docs/dec/README.md describes the second of those as "the DTJ issue from the mirror at mrynet.com". That wording overstates what was kept — it is one article, not the issue. The file belongs to another worker's in-flight tree, so the correction is left to its owner; this note is the authoritative record until then.
